PalladioRice Powder, Translucent, Loose Setting Powder, Absorbs Oil, Leaves Face Looking and Feeling Smooth, Helps Makeup Last Longer For a Flawless, Fresh Look

As someone with deep smile lines + under eye fine lines (can’t afford my usual Botox at the moment) and severely combination to oily skin, I do not have the luxury of forgoing setting powder. If I don’t use setting powder, my face is a slippery, creasing disaster. Some of my HG powders include Huda Beauty Easy Bake, Pacifica Cherry Matte, Nars Translucent Crystal powder loose + pressed versions, and IT Cosmetics Bye Bye Pores Loose Powder (gorgeous but causes horrific flashback, full on Flashback Mary soo not flash friendly).I need to bake every time I wear foundation/concealer but what happens is I end up dehydrating my skin so bad that when I smile I form a bunch of fine lines that are not normally there. I can’t win. While my usually faves are $25+ (except one that is $12) they all have their issues so I’m constantly searching; now enter this Palladio rice powder.As a student, I’m poor to say the least but I’ll beg, borrow, and steal to cop any makeup that I need - regardless of that notion, it hurts to shell out tons of money that I don’t have for good makeup so when I saw $8.99 for a setting powder I became immediately intrigued. I’m familiar with rice powder and the benefits of using rice starch in makeup for its amazing oil absorbing capabilities so I felt confident in the product’s claims regarding its efficacy. I used it today and OMG, this is perhaps my new HG powder.Whenever I use setting powder, the severity/longevity of wear before my foundation forms creases determines my liking for it. One of my favorite foundations, IT CC cream, is one of the worst offending, easily creasing products on my skin because of its emollience - something remedied little by even baking. When I got this in the mail today I immediately ripped it open and started doing my makeup with IT CC cream, which to me, is the ultimate test of a powders setting capability. I was seriously so blown away. (PS I’m fair, so I used the shade translucent and the results really shocked me.)Usually as soon as I finish my makeup, ask anyone who lives with me, I will not SMILE at all until I’m at my destination as to preserve my look from creasing (if I’m driving, I’ll also blast the AC on my face to keep my skin matte too, how pitiful right?) In general, as soon as I have any movement on my face, it’s over within minutes no matter how sheer my application is. I used IT CC cream + IT concealer (super thick) and set it with this rice powder with 0 expectations, and well, I forgot all about it. I got a coffee, made a few long, hysterical phone calls, and even ate 20 blazin’ wings from BWW to only realize in my cars mirror after the fact that my makeup WAS STILL FLAWLESS, EVEN IN 95° HEAT!! I did have super super super faint lines in my smile lines but it disappeared the second I tapped it out with my fingers. UGH, Where has this been my whole life? It’s super mattifying and it doesn’t dry your skin! It does smell like flowery/floral something mixed with baby powder scent and it lingers for a very short period. I’m so hooked on this, I’m so glad it so affordable, truly a great product! I highly recommend this to anyone who struggles with similar skin/makeup issues.

I tried this on a whim because I could no longer afford the Clinique loose powder that I have used for years. I was so pleasantly surprised by how much I love this powder. Don't let the price fool you. You can get great quality products for a lot less than than you pay for the department store brands. I wear makeup about 4 times a week and it has taken me months to get through even one container....despite it being tiny. It is very lightweight and gives a matte oil free finish, which I love. It did not cause any type of skin issues or breakouts either. It has no smell, which I also love. Anyway, if you have oily skin and want a shine free look, give this rice powder a try.

It’s a nice powder and definitely takes care of oil. It is not finely milled like Huda but it works well for overall coverage

This powder is incredibly light and soft to touch after you apply it, it feels weightless compared to other face powders and compacts I've tried. I am a very freckly person and tan so easily its not even funny. The area around my forehead and nose also gets oily from time to time and I always hate the shiny look caused by the oils. After using this, my face was much lighter and it helped conceal the lighter freckles and pores around my nose. It does it's job and does it well, my face stayed sweat and oil free the entire day, I'll be buying another one soon to gift to a friend. I let her try it and she loved it :)Just a tip though, this powder gets everywhere and I mean everywhere. I made the mistake of removing about half of the tape covering the holes that let the powder through thinking not much would get everywhere, I was incredibly wrong. Don't do this, just use a needle or toothpick to poke 2 or 3 holes into the tape so it deposits small amounts of powder, this way it won't get all over the brush if you carry it in a purse and jostle it around a lot. If you did take off the tape, just put push the powder back in the holes with a finger, wipe the surface, and put a small square of scotch tape over it and poke as many holes you think you need in it.

This powder is so amazing I’m so surprised at how cheap it is and how good it is. The formula is incredibly soft and matte, it blocks oily skin and decreases your pore size. It’s great at setting concealer too you don’t even need a lot of the product to set makeup since the powder itself is great.

It looks nice, but it STINKS.

this is such an excellent powder. Light on your skin and true to the color you choose for your complexion. wonderful product and priced to sell for everyone!

I have been using this for years. After receiving a sample of Tarte brand powder loved it but needed to find something less expensive. This is my go- to powder. It feels light yet helps my skin look finished. It does t settle into fine lines or break me out. Also, no weird smell. I apply once and am good all day! You can’t bet the price for an everyday face powder.
